An Arab American woman and her two roommates were sexually assaulted by an unruly mob in Egypt’s Tahrir Square Wednesday as thousands of Egyptians took to the square to mark the one-year anniversary of the uprising that unseated President Hosni Mubarak, Egyptian news sources reported.

The Arab-American, who currently resides in Cairo, arrived at Tahrir square with two roommates - European natives.

The mob attacked the three women, pulled their pants off, groped their bodies and continued with their sexual assault.

The three were finally pulled away and taken to safety.

The Arab-American arrived back at her apartment without her pants.

In a separate incident, another woman, who’s identity and nationality is still unknown, was rushed away in an ambulance after being sexually assaulted during the Tahrir Square celebrations.

There were additional reports of women being grabbed and groped during the Tahrir Square celebrations on Wednesday.

The Arab-American assault victim said that she was told not to talk about the incident for fear it would tarnish the image of the revolution, but she insisted that people need to know what is happening.

OBAMA: 'END-OF-LIFE CARE' TOO COSTLY!

"I actually think that the tougher issue around medical care... is what you do around things like end-of-life care.... I mean, the chronically ill and those toward the end of their lives are accounting for potentially 80 percent of the total health care bill out here!"Barack Obama in an interivew with the New York Times - April 2009
